I suspose you are opposed to the use of nuclear energy? If you are, why? Maybe your reason is the same reason we could have saved millions of people in third world countries from malaria by the proper use of DDT? <BR/><BR/>Have you seen the ugly, noisy wind mills east of Bloomington stretching almost to Gibson City and how the access roads have torn apart some of the most valuable famland in the country? When the government someday stops subsidizing these monstorsities, they will sit as blemishes on the landscape forever as there will be no money from the investors to take them down.<BR/><BR/>And for all the money the radical environmentalists have spent trying to stop the creation of lower prices at the pump, why haven't they turned there billions of dollars into exactly what you are asking for?<BR/><BR/>The need for oil througout the world is going to be around for a much longer period than you think.Merle Widmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267875223386924271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-55177587611889533712008-05-09T21:49:00.000-05:002008-05-09T21:49:00.000-05:00Build new oil refineries.Drill for oil in the West...Build new oil refineries.<BR/><BR/>Drill for oil in the West, in Alaska, off shore and anywhere else we can find it .<BR/><BR/>Get the EPA (and I add, the radical environmentalists and our U.S. Department of Land Use off our backs)<BR/><BR/>Great idea. I say why stop there? Have a group of oil executives get together and guess where they think oil is, and just start drilling! Why try and develop plug-in hybrids? Just keep feeding the pig.
